Same Ol' Tune
My only reaction to today's PC: Winslow, just let us know when you find the funny.
With Stantis on vacation for another week or so, we should prepare ourselves for two more weeks of irrelevant unfunny strips like this. Yeah, I know, nothing we haven't seen before. I hope my math is correct - if Stantis left on his cross-country trek last weekend, then this past week he was actually trying to be topical, meaning we have two full weeks of stuff about fat kids and hating technology. Blah. Math + Sunday mornings are not a good combination.
And Stantis couldn't have picked a better time to take the family to Wally World. Do we really want him to try and tackle what's happening in the Middle East? Afghanistan is falling apart. Bush is sending MORE troops into Iraq and Baghdad, not less. And of course Israel/Hezbollah/Hamas is leading us into the apocalypse if you listen to...well, any of the news shows. That means Stantis would have to bring out Kevin the Bunny, and nobody wants that. While this might be a perfect storm for the people anxious for Jesus to come back, as a comic strip writer I can understand why Stantis would want to avoid this like the plague (so to speak). So when he gets back expect him to tackle the Joe Lieberman/Ned Lamont primary race instead. Or maybe our Fearless Leader saying the word "shit" with his mouth full of dinner roll.
With that being the case, feel free to use the comments section to suggest what we can expect this week. More IPod gags? A Michael Moore sighting, as if he's the new Bigfoot? Some straight talking with John McCain as he flip-flops on yet another issue? Plenty of possibilities, but odds are he'll just talk about how hot it is and Al Gore is insane because global warming is a myth.

Can't... look away... from... Stephen Colbert. That animation is seriously hypnotic.
